Her well known book that she wrote : The New Garconne: How to be a Modern Gentlewoman, came out in 2016 but to me I feel Navaz was very head of her time as this book is still one the most well known book of masculinity from a modern women's outlook. Join me in a conversation with Navaz about masculinity in womenswear. How menswear has played a huge part, how she began, and why she thought it was important to do such a book. A conversation about cultures and how it leads into the creative world.

Highlights of AW24-25 collection what was interesting from Details, Style, Textures, Silhouette, Colour, Elegant and design purpose. I've been following the shows that took place from Pitti Uomo, Milan to Paris, and overall some of the looks in menswear have been very wearable but focus on textiles and textures. Tailoring is huge as it always is, but most of all, it is oversized and loose tailoring with details and sporty. Tailoring is hugely important in menswear for my menswear. I've also like to mix sporty tailoring with classic tailoring. For me, the most stand out menswear has to be the following Neil Barett, Issey Miyake, Dries Van Noton, Botter and Fear of God America Symphony collection. Have a look at them and let me know what you think?

Will Brown and Marie Willey started Old Town clothing about 30 years ago. Leaving London heading to Norfolk, not knowing what will come of the move, but they did it and never looked back.

Old Town clothing is a successful unisex brand with sophisticated, stylish, in its charm and very calm way with Old Town. Once you see the designs of this brand, you really can't forget it. Join Marie, Will, and myself in a conversation about the up and downs in holding a brand in the most challenging times of this trade with shortage of skilled makers that once there gone it's impossible to replace as a nation we don't seem to have the formula to replace skilled makers.
